The good news is that there are lots of vegan recipes for runners out there to make your Veganuary that much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/uk.veganuary.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Veganuary<\/a> started in 2014 and has since inspired and motivated more than half a million people in 178 countries worldwide to try a plant-based diet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With there being ever more awareness of climate change, the environment and what the meat industry is doing to our planet, more and more people are choosing to take up veganism as a way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to fitness and nutrition, there is a lot of confusing and contradicting information out there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veggie and vegan nutrition has come a long way in the last 10 years, with more and more athletes choosing a plant-based diet over meat, resources and recipe books are slowly becoming more and more plentiful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I thought I&rsquo;d take this opportunity to write about some of my favourite vegan cookbooks in the hope that they may inspire you to opt for a more plant-based diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A little note to say that I am a vegetarian. I am yet to go fully vegan but it is something that I am working my way towards slowly but surely! I like to experiment with vegan recipes now and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/9-683x1024.png\" alt=\"vegan recipes for runners\" class=\"wp-image-3068\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/9-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/9-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/9.png 735w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20683%201024'%3E%3Crect%20width='683'%20height='1024'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"vegan recipes for runners\" class=\"wp-image-3068 eager-load\" title=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/9.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/9-683x1024.png.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/9-683x1024.png.webp 683w, https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/9-200x300.png.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/9.png.webp 735w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B01J4DRPIS\/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&amp;btkr=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Vegetarian Athlete&rsquo;s Cookbook: More Than 100 Delicious Recipes for Active Living<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Written by bestselling author and nutritionist Anita Bean, this book is packed full of delicious and easy to make recipes &ndash;
